    Code:
    %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\HostileGame\config\HostileInput.ini
    This file is responsible for key-mappings. You will be able to edit what the controller does from there with a little tinkering.

    Feel free to post what you learn, and find to work well. This question seems to come up fairly often, and I would have made a tutorial on it already if I had a controller to use.

    No no, I'm saying I would write a tutorial. I haven't yet because I don't have a controller to mess about with (I use keyboard and mouse exclusively).

    Okay, so I had a look for myself at the controller stuff. For the most part it works like keyboard stuff.

    Here's a section of my file, from lines 432 to 441.

    I'd just swap "UseSkill3" and "Reload" around.

    The [HostileGame.HPlayerInput] should be the section that custom controls are kept in. Start making changes in there, one at a time, and see if they have any effect in-game.

    well no luck i went to the part u mentioned and switched the "jump" and "toggleweapon" but the game acted as if i was still the default setting .. i dont know if its important but when i first tried the command ingame the jump and toggleweapon buttons dont work till the second button press. I wont lie i am a noob with this stuff..

    Just experiment. If you think you have an idea - try it. If it breaks, just delete the file, and the game will build you a new one when it loads.

    well does anyone else have any insight on how i can change my button layout?

    can a developer help me out even?

    its hard enough using the controller vs good m/kb players , but with this default setting it does not allow me to aim while i jumpjet... any help with this would be most appreciated

    We don't have a way of doing this in the UI at the moment. If you want to give it a try with .ini files, though, you might try modifying your DefaultInput.ini file in the same way that you tried modifying your HostileInput.ini -- HostileInput.ini gets overwritten with these values. However, I can't guarantee what effect this will have so be sure and back up the file.

    I believe I've seen mention of utilities for remapping/customizing the XBOX360 controller on the PC. Try googling around for a way to remap the buttons outside of MNC

    yes i have one of them but it was less than perfect , xpadder. im going to reinstall it now . i hope it works better than i remembered.

    edit

    no the emulator doesnt work right , it conflicts with the gamepad controls and from what i see there is no way to disable the gamepad support
